Pre heat oven to 400°
1 cup Flour, regular old flour.
1 tbl butter, shortning, or manteca (lard) per cup
1tsp (level) baking powder per cup
So, what ever, how many...
A shortning cutter... that's a thing that you get at wal*mart or bed bath
and beyond or something
or put a quarter of the flour in a food processor with the shortning and hit
the button a couple of times
put the flour/shortning in the rest of the flour. put the baking powder in
the mix. whisk the dry mix. add some milk, half a cup per cup of flour.
mix with a fork or spoon.
The mix SHOULD be good. if it's too wet add flour, if it's too dry add more
milk. with floured hands, on a floured board fold, once or twice mash. fold
once or twice mash... Roll out to about 5/8 in. thick. I have biscut
cutters sombody gave me, but more often than not, I just use a large glass
to cut the biscuts. throw'em on a baking sheet putt'em in the oven for 10
min.
This will make good (Excellent) biscuts. I live at 5428' elevation. the
recipe needs to be made several times to get it perfect.
